Goodbye shirley | edith


It is with heavy hearts and sad faces that we announce the retirement of our shirley | edith line.  While we truly appreciate the success shirley | edith has had and the adventures it has brought us, it's time to move on and re-focus our time and attention on new things.  Having an addition to our family has made us realize our time is very precious so we're streamlining Baci Designer's business model to run more effectively and efficiently.

We have re-stocked our Etsy Shop "shelves" will all of the remaining shirley | edith items we have and we'll be selling them at a discount until they're gone.  Use Coupon Code BYEBYESE for 25% off your entire order.  If you've been eyeing one of our designs now is the time to grab it because once it's gone, it's gone for good.

Once the shop sells out you'll see a complete makeover with lots of fun new offerings (seriously, it's going to be Amaze-balls!)!  Thank you so much for all of our support for shirley | edith over the past few years - we truly appreciate it!

We're Hiring!! | The Search is on for our Fall 2013 Intern


We're happy to announce we'll be hiring an intern for the Fall 2013 semester!!  If you've always found yourself interested in all the beautiful things that are part of the wedding industry this is the right place for you.  We pride ourselves on being incredibly "coastal" with our creations and our small business thinking - we'd love to have you along for the ride :o)

Here's the breakdown:

1} This is an unpaid internship. However, any design work that is done for a paying client by the intern will be compensated (this rarely happens as I am just a bit anal retentive when it comes to my designs, lol!). Also, the intern will be paid hourly for any day-of coordination events they work (2 or 3 during the semester) and reimbursed for any Baci-related driving done with your own personal vehicle (prepare yourself - you will run a lot of errands!).

2} This position will require presence in Baci's studio (in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) 2 days a week and some satellite work from your home depending on the current work load.

3} We are interested in stationery design and/or event planning interns - someone interested and talented in both departments would be best!

4} The position will begin in early September and run until mid-December. The deadline for application is Friday, August 23rd. We will then begin contacting candidates we are interested in to schedule interviews for the week of August 26th.

5} We are looking for someone who's fun and easy to work with who is also the following:
* An Independent Worker - we cherish the time spent teaching our interns, but we also have to get things accomplished ;o)
* An Organization Nerd
* A Creative and Crafty Soul - we love out of the box thinkers who can create right alongside Martha!
* A Social Networking Guru - Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram - you name it, we use it and you'll be expected to ;o)
* A Google Applications Expert - we use Google to run pretty much everything around here.
* A Practiced Blogger User
* A Well-executed Writer - you will be expected to come up with unique and well-written blog posts throughout the duration of the internship.
* An Etsy and Wedzu Ace
* A Skilled InDesign/Illustrator/PhotoShop Artist - these are incredibly important in Baci's studio! We aren't saying you have to be a genius in all Adobe design products, but having a working knowledge of them is incredibly important :o)

And a few more "musts":
* Must LOVE Weddings!!
* Must spell stationery correctly - look it up if you're not sure. I promise I won't even finish reading your resume if you don't.
* Must love Morris - this cat loves to test our interns, but they always end up loving one another by the end of the semester!
* Must be able to deal with the random happenings of parents with a 7 - 11 month old baby - our little guy won't be working alongside us often, but the life of a working Mommy is never dull, lol!
* Must provide own reliable transportation and laptop computer

If you feel like we were just describing you (it's like we're in your brain right now!) and you're interested in applying for baci's Fall 2013 Internship - please send your resume and cover letter to info@bacidesigner.com with the subject line "Fall 2013 Intern" by the end of the day Friday, August 23rd.  Please feel free to share this posting as well!

Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you soon!
